Trial hears text messages between Pistorius and Steenkamp
The chief lawyer for Oscar Pistorius has sought to show that the athlete had a loving relationship with the girlfriend he killed, referring to telephone messages in which they exchanged warm compliments and said they missed each other.
The testimony contrasted with several messages read out in court at the request of the prosecution yesterday in which Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp argued in the weeks before he shot her. In those messages, Steenkamp told the double-amputee runner that she was sometimes scared by his behaviour, which included jealous outbursts in front of other people.
